Tails Noir: Rebel Rush - Portals speedrun in 12.760
4Really fun trick, another Softi find. I struggle doing it consistently, but I've seen more skilled runners than me go for it in full game runs so it can definitely be practiced. There is definitetely a skill involved here with lining up your bouces to get a reliable launch. As far as optimizing the level time goes, what makes this finnicky is that there is a lot of variation in speed you can get out of the bounce that makes getting a good time much harder than just being able to execute the skip. Another difficulty is that you need to be very particular with your aim, as hitting the speedpad anywhere but the very left edge sends you into the loop. This track has already been around for a couple of days now, but I've been attempting (and failing) to do full game runs so just now I finally felt like returning to some ILing.
